Section III – Supplementary Information

3.1 Organizational Information

The Agency exercises its powers through its seven members, appointed by the Governor in Council: a chairman, a vice-chairman and five full-time members. The Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities can also appoint up to three temporary members.

The Chairman is accountable for the Agency's single program activity. All Agency members are accountable for making quasi-judicial decisions on matters before the Agency.

The Agency's organizational structure comprises four branches: the Rail and Marine Transportation Branch, the Air and Accessible Transportation Branch, the Legal Services and Secretariat Branch, and the Corporate Management Branch. The head of each branch, as well as Communications and Internal Audit, report to the Chairman.

The two program branches, the Rail and Marine Transportation Branch and the Air and Accessible Transportation Branch, relate to the Agency's regulatory functions. The Legal Services and Secretariat Branch performs regulatory activities and the Corporate Management Branch provides administrative support.

The Agency's headquarters are located in the National Capital Region. Agency personnel working in field offices in six cities across Canada carry out air and accessibility enforcement activities. More information about the role and the structure of the Agency can be found on the Agency's Web site at www.cta.gc.ca/about-nous/index_e.html.
